A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Box Set (5 Books)

Nice addition to my collection

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️An unforgettable, soul-shattering romantasy journey — 5 stars across the board.The A Court of Thorns and Roses series is the reason so many of us fell headfirst into the romantasy genre, and for good reason. Sarah J. Maas delivers a world that is lush, emotional, seductive, brutal, and endlessly compelling. What begins as a fairytale-inspired fantasy with ACOTAR quickly evolves into a sweeping saga of love, war, trauma, healing, empowerment, and found family that completely takes over your heart (and your bookshelf).Each book deepens the story and raises the stakes: • ACOTAR pulls you in with deadly fae magic and a fiercely independent heroine. • ACOMAF changes the game emotionally and romantically — this is where obsession begins. • ACOWAR is an epic, emotional finale that will leave you crying in the best way. • ACOFAS offers a softer, more introspective pause to breathe, reflect, and rebuild. • ACOSF takes a bold turn with a new narrator, giving us one of the rawest and most personal journeys of self-worth, grief, and redemption in the series.The writing evolves, the characters grow, and the emotional investment becomes all-consuming. It’s a series filled with iconic quotes, plot twists that punch you in the gut, enemies-to-lovers perfection, and characters you’ll want to protect with your life.Is it fantasy? Yes. Romance? Absolutely. But at its core, this series is about choosing yourself, rising from the ashes, and learning what it means to fight for your place in the world—and for the people you love.If you’re wondering whether to start it… the answer is yes. But fair warning: this isn’t just a series. It’s a full personality trait.

I understand the hype now. Need another book ASAP! I loved getting the entire box set because it guaranteed that all five books would match height and spine on a bookshelf. I believe these are the same size as the ones you can order by themselves though.

This product was great—excellent value for money, high quality, durable, and very easy to assemble.

Love the book set and the series it was everything I expected to be!!!

A friend recommended this series to me, and it has been a good recommendation! I am on book 2 now.

The set arrived on time in great condition. Well written fantasy series, got me back into reading again, read the series in 2 weeks, couldn’t put it down. Highly recommend!

These are definitely not brand brand new or they have been tumbled around some. Either way there was some scratches on the book covers. Nothing to serious. Ill give it 4 starts just because it doesnt state it isnt going to be in pristine condition.

Product came undamaged and looks beautiful on my bookshelf. I love these book series so much and it is really what reintroduced me to recreational reading.

Not a review of the book content but the actual object. Was a great price for 5 books.

Great stories -couldn’t stop reading-stayed up way too late finishing the last one! Highly recommend -I was sad when I was finished with the last book!

My Roman Empire.I was and still am obsessed with these books. The first seven chapters in ACOTAR are hard but definitely worth pushing through. I will always and forever recommend this series to readers.

This series changed my life. I never used to read, I always hated it since school forced you to read books. I hate when people tell me to do things. However, I see everyone reading now and my mom was starting a book club so I said why not. We started out with the perfect couple (read it prior to the Netflix show came out) and loved it. It actually sparked me to start reading and enjoy reading. My friend recommended me this series and oh my gosh it changed me. I am now a fantasy fan girl! I finished all of the SJM universe, empyrean series, plated prisoner series, and more. I am forever changed and there is no going back. This is not a completed series though, SJM needs to release the next book already!

Love the imagination and undertones this book provides. Always changing and keeps you on your toes. Can’t wait to start the next series!

Great for collectors love the art work on the box case the books themselves were not damaged thanks to the box case but the corners of the case was due to not being packaged properly but it arrived in good condition books were a addictive read couldn't put them down

I love these books and have already read them but wanted my own copy. They were a great price and came in excellent condition.

Picked up the first book because I had heard about it online and immediately had to order the rest of the set the same day because I couldn't wait. So glad it was available same day and grabbed it during my lunch break!

best book series ever. It’s super cute. If you want more by her i would read Throne Of Glass, it’s more story based and has a ton of plot that makes it amazing

All the books arrived in perfect condition—no missing pages, no dents or damage at all. I was very impressed, especially considering it shipped from a warehouse.I can’t wait to start the series and see where this world takes me!

If you like spicy romance novels and you like high fantasy novels, you will like this series. It is an adult series for adult themes and adult scenes, not just spice, but also gore/war/torture, and that is important to note. This series has its own magic system and mythologies, and is connected to other universes of the author including Crescent City and Throne of Glass but can be read on its own. I think it is a really good series.SPOILERS (not heavy spoilers but will talk about things which happen in the book in a general sense) for conversation about feminism/fascism/mental illness.Many people want a high fantasy series which is feminist in nature and the male love interests are feminist, this is not that kind of book. It definitely has feminist undertones and female empowerment undertones, it is written by a female author which historically high-fantasy books in a female lens have been shunned so I prefer to support female authors, but the love interest does many things which are not feminist.The male love interest in this book drugs her and dances inappropriately with her, and then claims there was no other way to make the villain think he didn’t care about the protagonist and put her in danger. That is pretty unbelievable, there are a million other options that do not include drugging someone in that situation.The male love interest “rescues” the protagonist and brings her to a place which only his friends and family, for hundreds of years of relational ties, are. This technically is a social isolation happening. This is apparent when 5 books later the love interest is not only still lying to the protagonist, but getting all the friends and family to lie for him about something that directly and drastically affects her life. She technically is supposed to be the same level of power that he is, but it is very clear that was a stunt to show symbolically how much he cared for her. Because if she truly had the same power as him then the friends and family would not have lied like that, the same way they would not have lied to him. The other thing about that is she was raised to her status without any well learned political or historical education of the people she is ruling, giving the male love interest good reason to be able to over-ride anything she put into place, and not giving her enough knowledge to truly do her job. What also goes along with this is that all education on those political historical topics will have to come through him or people whom he is employing/has these strong ties with.There is a race of people which the love interest rules over who are physically and sexually abusing females, and neglecting/abusing their male children to be warriors. The love interest claims to have put laws into place to prevent this, however, he does not enforce them. Similar to how he symbolically gave the protagonist a position of power, he seemed to have symbolically put a feminist law into place but then not follow through. It is claimed the abuse they are facing is culture, and to give the males more time to change, which is obviously untrue and harmful. “He will change” rhetoric harms women often. I think the way the fantasy race and issue of female violence was written was realistic, but I also think that realism is disturbing because of his unwillingness to be harsher in punishment towards males who are literally physically altering these females. It also is somewhat insinuated there is fascism going on because of his obsession with keeping one “good” city safe, and his distaste for the sexist race of warriors and the other city - which he oversees and is in charge of. It is almost like he believes their lives lost causes and something to be used to protect his favorite city and people, which is obviously harmful to the people who do not live in his favorite city because their ruler has abandoned them to harm in belief of culture.Again, this is a fantasy book, I do not believe this to reflect the authors beliefs on feminism or humanitarian efforts, but if you personally are looking for a high-fantasy book with a feminist love interest, this is probably not the one.Lastly, the last book has a topic of mental illness- specifically substance use issues. This book was so difficult to read as a researcher in psychology because of the abuse the protagonist faced and how she got better despite, in real life, this person would likely be far worse off. What I mean by this is the protagonist was unliked due to a disability she had in childhood, inadaptibility which is something that happens in children groomed to be married off (groomed meaning taught to be something very specific, particularly in a way of being sold to the highest bidder and marrying a wealthy male). Her sister took her meaning for life by marrying someone powerful and rich without any of the efforts and grooming which the protagonist faced in childhood, so all her trauma no longer had meaning and she no longer felt any reason to be aliv...
